Profile:
Almost solely responsible for the return of Derbyshire to the
first-class ranks in the late 19th century, William Chatteron was
an excellent defensive batsman, and a useful bowler. He could play
attacking cricket when necessary but Wisden described his
batting as "essentially watchful and steady". He represented the
Players eight times against the Gentlemen, and made eight
first-class centuries. He toured South Africa with W.W Read's team in 1891-92
(that winter two England teams toured, the other in the West
Indies).
He played in the only Test, making 48 as an opener as England won
by an innings. He was the top run scorer on the tour, but the
batting strength of England at that time was such that he never played
another Test. He played for 20 years with Derbyshire, and
represented Derby County at football. He passed away of
consumption at the age of 50 (DL 2000).
